Dalton Flirts With GOP Run Amid School Desegregation Clash
Richmond VA June 1957 Republican Ted Dalton urged Democrats and Independents to join the GOP for governor as he weighs a bid tied to desegregation policy. He seeks voter input via letters from Radford while arguing for local control and avoiding wholesale school closures. The piece notes Almond and Carwile in Democratic primaries and frames the main issue as massive resistance versus locally administered pupil assignment. It adds an odd line about 33 days to reach the moon by airplane at 300 miles per hour.

Monarchy May Return To Spain
In Madrid observers discuss a potential move to restore the Spanish monarchy after Franco. The current constitution requires a male of royal blood at least 30 to be chosen by a regency council once Franco leaves power. Prince Juan Carlos, Alfonso XII’s grandson, is seen as the likely candidate but is only 19, prompting talk of lowering the age limit.
